Comment 1 for bug 497594

These are two different issues:
1) check for existing files *before* doing the processing on a picture
2) Resuming a session with (thousand) images

2 could be much more easy to fix. We could provide a "Tools>Resume Session" entry. This invokes a GUI where you can choose from previous unfinished sessions and have an overview of finished and unfinished images.

1 will be very hard if not impossible under certain conditions. It would only be possible if Phatch could ignore variable changes in the save action. For example if Phatch uses an imagemagick action it is impossible to know the new image dimensions, but also for autocrop etc ... As ignoring variable changes will lead to incorrect results and possibly harm the reputation of Phatch, I don't feel it is worth the effort.

What is your reaction?
